100% Pure Semi-Cold Pressed Coconut Oil, Glass Jar

• Coconut oil comes with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-aging properties and can be used for inside-out nourishment.
• Coconut oil is mild on the skin and is widely used in the tropics to protect both skin and hair from the harsh effect of the sun as it contains Vitamin E.
• Coconut oil solidifies when the temperature drops below 24 degrees Celsius. 
• Pure coconut oil has a fresh aroma and taste and is transparent at or above 24 degrees Celsius. 
• Coconut oil is one of the most stable oils and is highly resistant to rancidity. It is stable because of its high proportion (90%) of saturated fats. It is the unsaturated fats in the common seed oils that are easily oxidized and susceptible to rancidity. 
• It generally has 60% + medium-chain fatty acids.

Green Valley does not buy copra from the market, which contains Sulphur, a toxic preservative, soot and dirt, and damaged nuts making the input inferior. The general industry practice follows that to remove the bad smell of such copra, the copra is roasted, leading to the oil content of the copra getting boiled. The oil is again boiled in the expeller for complete extraction. The consumer receives oil which is boiled twice and then cooled down. Studies prove that oil once boiled and cooled is not fit for consumption and should not be used for cooking. Hot pressing involves extracting oil at high temperatures, and because the acid value rises significantly, it loses most of its natural quality. Boiling the oil in the expeller not only changes the chemical structure of the oil, but in the process, a lot of essential substances like vitamin E, sterols, and carotenoids are lost.

Green Valley dehusks the procured coconuts, dries them thoroughly through hot air blowing, and immediately extracts oil from the copra. Therefore, no preservatives are used in the process. Moreover, Green Valley extracts oil through a screw press (mechanical crushing under high pressure) in its first round. Then the remaining oil is extracted through a cold-press expeller. Thus, coconut oil extracted through semi-cold presses, is retained of its natural physiological and chemical properties and its original taste. Green Valley's products are unrefined, untreated, and pure.

Copra available in the market comes from different groups, including small and big merchants. We do not follow the practice of buying roasted copra from the market. Roasting affects copra's quality and does not remove the moisture content to the level required. The copra is often treated with smoke and might contain Sulphur, a toxic preservative, added as an antimicrobial agent for preventing bacterial and fungal growth. Sulphur restricts lung performance and leads to direct allergenic reactions. Coconut dried directly over the fire in country dryers will be coated with soot and other impurities. Additionally, damaged nuts are not discarded from the copra available in the market, making the copra and the oil extracted from it inferior.

Green Valley procures raw material directly from the local farmers, ensuring them of the right price and transparency in quality testing, weight estimation, and inspection processes. We thoroughly dry the copra through two-step hot air blowing which ensures that copra has only the right amount of moisture which otherwise leads to rancidity and low shelf life. This way, the quality and freshness of the copra is retained
